The orientation of the particle on the microscope slide will affect the
projected image and consequently the measured equivalent sphere
diameter.
Sieve measurement: Diameter of a sphere passing through the same
sieve aperture.
Sedimentation measurement: Diameter of a sphere having the same
sedimentation velocity under the same conditions.

(a) the volume diameter (the diameter of a sphere having the same volume as
the particle);
(b) the surface diameter (the diameter of a sphere having the same surface
area as the
particle);
(c) the surface-volume diameter (the diameter of a sphere having the same
external
surface to volume ratio as the particle);
(d) the sieve diameter (the width of the minimum aperture through which the
particle
will pass);
(e) the projected area diameters (the diameter of a circle having the same area
as the
projected area of the particle resting in a stable position).

Permeametry
This is a method of size analysis based on fluid flow
through a packed bed
The CarmanKozeny equation for laminar flow through
a randomly packed bed of uniformly sized spheres of
diameter x is
Electrozone sensing
Particles are held in supension in a dilute electrolyte which is drawn
through atiny orifice with a voltage applied across it
As particle flow through the
orifice,
a voltage pulse is recorded.
The amplitude of the pulse
can be related to the volume
of particle passing the orifice.
Particle range:
0.3-1000 mm.
